Man, I kept wondering how those fish and those colored chicks felt being jostled around like that. I'm not an animal person but I do feel pity and compassion for animals who become victims of human cruelty. I don't think those fish feel happy in their little plastic prisons. I saw a big silver one, the one nearest me, going crazy snapping at whatever food particle that floated near its mouth. And just the thought of those chicks being given a dye bath, and then being strangled to death by an overeager kid gives me the willies.

In other news, this. Okay, I don't want to say anything about who might have shot Ted Failon's wife. That's the police's job. I do hope they do a good job at it, for once. Anyway, what bothers me the most is how careful ABS-CBN is being in not pointing an accusing finger at their news anchor. Even GMA News had this headline: Cops doubt Ted Failon's wife attempted suicide. You see what they did there? I'm sure you did. They might imply it. But they won't say it. Journalists are supposed to be fair in their reportage. Their reports shouldn't show any bias against the people involved. However, the sad truth is: drama sells. And people will believe almost anything, especially if it's on TV.
